Steve is having an identity crisis. Steve is not a human, but a cat – and to make matters a bit more confusing, Steve seems to believe that he is a lamb.

Ever since his owner Amanda Whitlock brought her herd of lambs inside the house to escape the cold New Zealand weather, this feline has been experiencing an identity crisis. Steve soon began to be conspicuously absent from the house following the lambs release back into the fields. His owners quickly discovered that he was hanging around outside with the lambs.

Steve seemed to have bonded with the lambs during their stay in the house and now felt like one of the herd. Amanda related in an interview with New Zealand Herald, that Steve gelled so well with the squad of lambs that he appears to have become their ringleader. The little lambs follow Steve around and take a keen interest in whatever Steve is playing with or getting into.

Steve's story has gained him a modicum of fame, but he seems unfazed by his newfound stardom and prefers to just be one of the herd.
